The update to Blackhole is meant to fix more than 160 bugs and address controller issues, and it also includes new missions and hardcore levels for an estimated 5 hours worth of additional content. A speed-run trailer showing off one of the new levels has been released to accompany the update:
The announcement on Steam has a list of new features and the main issues that have been addressed with this update:
I have a massive crush on this game, and it's very exciting to see it get so much attention from the developer FiolaSoft Studio long after release. So far, I've spent 20 hours on it and have completed most of the missions, but I still have selfburns to collect in many of the levels to get enough to complete the main story line. I hope to give this game the proper review I feel it deserves when I have gotten through it, but for now I'll just give it my warmest recommendations for fans of puzzle platformers with equal weight given to both the puzzles and platforming elements. And I think that if you like the popular Escape Goat games, you'll probably enjoy Blackhole too, though this game is more metroidvania-esque in structure. It admittedly has a few rough spots though; especially since two of the mandatory story levels require some hard as nails twitch platforming that can be off-putting to those more interested in just the well designed puzzle challenges this game offers.
